APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: This month
BUDGET RANGE: (e.g.: £700-800)
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Essentially University work (Engineering software will be most demanding, but otherwise just word processors etc) and games (not usually requiring extreme high specs), extra uses could include, internet surfing, movies, music media etc...
PARTS PREFERENCES: I'm leaning mainly towards ASUS and gigabyte MOBO's, and Intel processors, I'm not drawn between nvidia and ATI in GPU.
OVERCLOCKING: No
SLI OR CROSSFIRE:No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Undecided, i'll likely purchase the monitor after built to suit the PC
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: LED's always look nice
-----------------------------------------
My build as it stands is as follows, my question is that, due to this being my first ever build i'm unexperienced, and i would 1. like to know whether i have made any mistakes in my calculating that all the components fit together, and 2. like to know any advice that you may have for me to alter any components or any general building advice with the components that i have chosen (E.g.:from your past experiences with such components, or your knowledge on building in general). Please don't hesitate to ask for more information if i haven't provided enough as it stands.
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
CPU: Intel Core i7 930 (bloomfield)
MEM: Corsair XMS3 (6GB)
GPU: ATI 5750... XFX model Gigabyte Model <<<Advice on the differences?
HDD: Samsung HD103SJ
CASE: Antec two hundred gaming case
DVD: Samsung SH-B083L Internal blu ray/ DVD+RW Disk Drive
PSU: Corsair 550W VX
Thermal Compound: Undecided, advice would be very welcome
All of this amounts to around the £780 mark, Thanks for your time in advance and i'll look forward to hearing from anyone who wishes to help me
